I've used that method with some success on finish scratches, but those are damage to the wood. I expect that they'll require stripping the existing finish and steaming the wood to get the grain to rise. The short scratch should respond well, the wood appears to be merely compressed. The longer scratch is more troubling - it appears that some wood is gone and it can be difficult to get the grain to rise enough to make up the difference. At any rate I don't think adding more finish will produce satisfactory results and will complicate repairs.If they are just scratches and not cracks I've had great results just rubbing a little TruOil in them and wiping it off to blend. Just a moist finger tip. You could try it and if not what you want then refinish. Worth a try as they look fine except for the marks.
They look well done!Got my stocks back today. Pretty happy.View attachment 1182307View attachment 1182308View attachment 1182309View attachment 1182310
